About:
This package provides the official header files for dyld, the macOS dynamic linker and loader. These headers are essential for developers building software that interacts with low-level dynamic loading mechanisms, symbol resolution, and executable initialization processes on Apple platforms.
Key Features:
  • Official API definitions for dyld3 and related loader components
  • Includes headers for dynamic symbol binding and lazy binding
  • Provides structures for image inspection and runtime introspection
  • Required for low-level system programming on macOS
Use Cases:
  • Developing low-level debugging or profiling tools for macOS
  • Linking against private dynamic loader APIs for advanced runtime features
  • Studying the internal architecture of the macOS executable loader
Alternatives:
  • libproc headers – Focuses on process inspection APIs rather than the dynamic loader itself
